Should I?

[AREA 51]

Well, grandpa bob's green dragon, a 2000 with 40k miles and supercharger sold for $10.5K on ebay , minus $3k for supercharger that means you could find a 2000 with 40k miles for about $7.5 K.

i dont know about that... grandpa bob's vx was very well used and even mentioned a few dings in it in the auction... it also had some very personalized modifications done to it like the cage around the front bumper and the hood scoop.. usually modifications like that lower the resale value....

.. that said dino found a very nice vx with minimal problems for under 6k... but i wouldnt sell my vx for less than 14k... just make sure that when you buy your VX you get the one you want.. dont settle for one... many members here have had to fly to get their VX then drive it back hundreds or thousands of miles

from everything i have read, most mechanics say that when the rod goes, the engine can't be rebuilt.. but to calm your fears a little, every blown engine i can recall reported that their dipstick was absolutely dry when the engine blew... i dont think anyone would drive their vx long enough to burn all that oil after the horrible sounds of blowing the engine, so chances are they were really low on oil when the engine went... aka keep an eye on it and all should be fine

For that kind of money an inspection is called for. In adition if you get an extended warranty offer read it thoroughly. I had one offered to me at $1500 had deductables for everything had maximum payouts per occurance and a top payout of $3000 over the life of the warranty.
